A former nursing assistant accused of sexually assaulting an elderly patient is scheduled for a bail hearing today.

The police say Matthew Doyle, 24, of West Greenwich, assaulted a 69-year-old woman sometime on July 28. The alleged victim has advanced Alzheimer's disease.

Doyle was a nursing assistant at St. Elizabeth off Grandview Avenue. The facility, which serves 120 people, offers nursing, rehabilitative and special-care living for people with Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

Doyle faces first- and second-degree sexual assault and disorderly conduct, according to East Greenwich Deputy chief William Higgins.

His bail hearing is scheduled for today in Kent County District Court.
